How the trial and the licence work
Try it for 7 days
Start the trial in the Hub or in the plugin. Every feature, no card, no account. One trial per plugin on each computer.
When the trial ends
A banner in the plugin says so. Instruments go silent; effects pass your sound through unchanged. Nothing is deleted.
Buy and activate
Buying uses a ZOKKU account. In the Hub, Sign in, or Activate online opens your browser to sign in, and the plugin unlocks on this computer. Deactivate frees the place for another computer.
Offline
The Hub writes a small request file. Open our activation page from any device with internet, get the licence file and load it back in the Hub.
- One activation works for the plugin and the Hub: activate in either.
- ZOKKU All unlocks all eleven plugins with one activation.
- Prices and bundles

More downloads and help
Other installers, the full guide and what your computer needs.
Install, step by step
- Download the Hub Setup above. The files are not signed yet, so the browser may warn you. In Edge: the three dots on the download, Keep, Show more, Keep anyway. In Chrome: Keep.
- Check the file (optional, one line). In PowerShell, in your Downloads folder:
Get-FileHash ".\ZOKKU Hub Setup 0.6.7-beta.exe". The long number must be the SHA-256 under File details, letter for letter. - Run the Setup. Windows SmartScreen says Windows protected your PC because the app is new and not code-signed: choose More info, then Run anyway. The Setup asks for no administrator rights and installs for your Windows user only.
- Open ZOKKU Hub (beta) from the Start menu. It reads the beta catalogue and checks its signature. If your list stays empty, press Check now.
- Install the plugins you want, in VST3, CLAP or both. Windows asks once for permission, because the plugin folders are shared by every user. Close your DAW first.
- Rescan in your DAW. In FL Studio: Options, Manage plugins, Find plugins. Plugins that had another name (RESONANCE, PULSE…) are replaced; old projects still open them.
Without the Hub: unzip the plugins installer, double-click ZOKKU Plugins Setup.cmd, accept the same warnings and the one Windows prompt. It keeps a copy of anything it replaces.
Trial and licence in this beta
- Start the free trial from the Hub (Start free trial on a plugin) or from the licence sheet inside a plugin. No card, no account.
- The trial is the ZOKKU All one: one trial unlocks all of them on your computer, all eleven.
- The trial lasts as long as our licence server grants: today that is 7 days, as at launch.
- Beta code: under Get your licence, Redeem a beta code opens the ZOKKU All checkout. Enter the code in the coupon code field, the total goes to 0; the licence then shows in your ZOKKU account. In the Hub, Sign in with the same email: the eleven show as Owned and one activation unlocks them.
- Each plugin is its own product: its own licence, the Beat Kit's (its five plugins) or ZOKKU All's unlocks it. In the Hub, Sign in activates what your account owns. In a plugin's licence sheet, Activate online activates that plugin; with ZOKKU All use Activate ZOKKU All (Hub 0.6.7 and the plugins of this build on Windows). On a Mac, use Sign in in the Hub until the next Mac build.
- When the trial ends, instruments go silent and effects pass the sound through, with a banner that says so. Your sessions are safe.
Known issues
- Not signed. Browsers and Windows SmartScreen warn about the files. The SHA-256 is how you know the file is ours and whole.
- One licence for all eleven. The trial and every activation are ZOKKU All ones: one trial or activation unlocks all eleven.
- macOS one step behind. The Mac disk has Hub 0.6.5 and the plugins of the previous build: activate with Sign in in the Hub, not with Activate online in a plugin.
- TAMMO, rare crash when its window opens. Seen only in our automated tests on one NVIDIA graphics driver, never in a DAW so far. If it happens to you, note the time and tell us.
- Account sign-in is untested with a real customer account. It may not work yet. The trial does not need it.
- macOS: not signed or notarized by Apple. macOS blocks the installer and the Hub the first time; the steps are under the Mac download. Each Hub install asks for your Mac password. Restoring a kept copy is Windows only for now, and the Mac Hub does not keep you signed in between launches.
- Already have ZOKKU Hub? The beta installs beside it as ZOKKU Hub (beta). Both share settings and plugins.
Remove
Plugins: in the Hub, Uninstall on each one (a copy is kept so you can restore it). Hub: Windows Settings, Apps, Installed apps, ZOKKU Hub (beta), Uninstall. Plugins installed without the Hub: ZOKKU Plugins (beta) in the same list. Your presets stay.

Questions
Do I need the Hub?
No. The Hub installs and updates everything in one place, and each plugin also has its own Setup. Removing the Hub leaves the plugins installed.
My DAW does not see the plugin.
Close and reopen the DAW, then rescan plugins. In FL Studio: Options, Manage plugins, Find plugins.
Will my sessions sound the same after an update?
That is the rule for every update: sessions and presets saved before keep their sound.
How do I check a download?
Each file has its SHA-256 under File details. In PowerShell run Get-FileHash .\file.exe and compare the two. The Hub does this by itself for every installer.
Is there a Mac version?
Yes, in the beta: AU, VST3 and CLAP, universal, with ZOKKU Hub for Mac. It is not notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to allow it once in System Settings, Privacy & Security. Check the disk with shasum -a 256 in Terminal.
Do the plugins go online?
Only to start a trial, to activate or deactivate, and for a short licence check now and then. fuzzo and ascent also have an optional online assistant, with your own OpenAI key: it sends measurements of the sound, never the audio.
